Hi

I had to replace my motherboard, fortunately I got
one that was almost the same as the one i had, so
I didn't had to reinstall, but now XP wants to do
check disk at every startup on 4 of my partitions.

Is there a way that I can stop XP from doing that ?

p.s. the first time I did let XP do the check disk
all the way.


Thanks in advance
Best regards

You might need to do a repair install, see:

Which partition/drive does it want to check? What were the results, any
bad sectors? Make a backup of all personal files and data and check to
make sure that the drive cable is connected firmly at both ends.

I'll second that recommendation.
From the article:

"Chkdsk Runs Each Time That You Start Your Computer"
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316506>

One cause cited is a corrupted registry. Pulling the
hardware/motherboard out from under the OS and replacing it could
easily look like a corrupted registry to the OS. A Repair Install
should fix that.

HTH,
John

Thanks for Your replies, but I would very much like to avoid
a repair install, it always mess up every thing..:(
And in this case there is absolutely nothing wrong with my PC,
except for the check disk at startup, every thing works fine.

Last time I did a repair install it took almost to days before
everything was back to normal and at average I reboot once a
week, so I thing I will live with the check disk if there is
no other way then a repair install.


There must be a place where XP store the result of the
check disk, where it checks if its needed or not.

Thanks again
Best regards
